I haven't examined the photos yet but I'm getting a 404 Page Not Found for the link. Can you double-check to be sure it's still active?

ETA - the bag itself seems ok but without measurements I'm having to guess about the style. Possibly a Dixon Mini style 4124 from the Lightweight line and made around 1992-93, check Coach's catalog description to see if the measurements match:

Thanks as always @Hyacinth! Sorry about the bad link, I'll double-check validity in the future! Will ask for measurements though I'll bet your guess is spot on! Lightweights are better for me these days, all my heavier bags are going to have to find new homes

Good morning, authenticators. Since a number of my older bags came without hangtags, I'm looking at brass Coach tags online. I wonder if someone could look at this lot from ebay and let me know what you think. While I hope they're real I actually have no idea or reason to think that.

From what I can tell, all the "brass" looking ones are fake and the smaller silver one is fake. I'm not sure of the middle silver one.

The only one I can say for sure is genuine is the red enamel one.

Item: Coach Vintage Coin Purse Mini Kisslock Genuine Python Black White 6172 W39
Listing number: 264562614679
Seller: mysteriousclosetfinds
Link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Coach-Vint...614679?hash=item3d99292197:g:wZYAAOSwyyZdycnJ

Comments: I shouldn't have done it (again!) but I made an offer and got this small, exotic item NWT for $65 shipped, and I think that is a fair price.

It is such an unusual item that I can't imagine it would be faked much, but I always appreciate your expert opinions, thank you in advance.

I think it's okay but the creed is a bit too blurry.

I hope this works, you try taking a picture on the sly with a tablet, I'm still at work.


If you click twice on it it will open up all the way for a clear shot.

I've done that, got a really nasty and insulting message back from her that I simply might not like it and have buyer's remorse, the pictures I attached were pretty clear, she claimed that in I didn't ask if the labels were removed and that a tag is a tag, doesn't matter if it is a charity shop, I replied that "new with tags" I would expect the labels to be in and not debranded. Not planning to reply further and will leave it up to eBay. I provided pictures. Seriously, could have lived with it being shortened, but ripping off the bottom half of a dress is not quite "was professionally shortened"

You're welcome. I wanted to verify that it said "Italy" and that the plant code was correct.

Hi all, just curious about pouches like these as I'd like to find one. This one is clearly priced too high but what I am curious about is if these are supposed to have a hang tag (I've seen some listed without where the seller claims not all small wallets or pouches were issued with them), if they are supposed to have a creed patch (I have seen some with and some without), and if they have to have a Coach stamp on the bottom right corner (also seen a couple without but most I see do). Is there another style number other than 7170? Thanks in advance.

Item: Small zip pouch

Hi all, I have a couple items I was hoping could get authenticated. Thank you so much in advance for your time.

Item: "coach purse - Tan" (looks to be a Coach Carly)
Seller: kriau_65
Listing: https://www.ebay.com/itm/293419480744
Notes: I have asked for a clearer picture of the creed but not gotten a response back yet; I know authentication likely hinges upon that but if you see any other red flags I'd appreciate it.

Item: "Coach bag" (looks to be an Ergo Hobo XL)
Seller: bwdpar-25
Listing: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Coach-bag/312942077222
